    Carbo

    I have had carbo/taxol before debulking surgery and for each recurrence.  Had cisplatin/taxol after surgery.  I think we all hope we will be a lucky one who doesn't recur.  My first remission was 18 months and of course I hoped.  Yeah I sometimes wish I could have one day where I forget all about cancer.
